A little bit about me

Hi,
My name is Taleah I have a masters in Developmental Psychology from SFU. I have been nannying for the past 5 years and am looking for a full-time role and family to stay and grow with. I have experience with infants to high school. My background includes TA in schools specifically special needs and afterschool programs, I have worked as a counselor for a non-profit, and various nanny roles while I completed my masters. I specialize in developmentally focused play and learning with minimal to no screens. I am active, energetic positive, and love kids. I have experience with Rota schedule, pick up drop off, potty training, infant care, etc. I am a great cook I believe in whole foods, minimal sugar, and a balance diet. I am comfortable with housework and animals. I also have a background in admin and HR so comfortable with house management and scheduling etc.

Janna

"Taleah is a true gem. If we had not moved to the East Coast, she would still be working for us. Taleah was amazing with both of my kids, even building trust with my son who is on the spectrum and tough to bond with. They loved when she came over. She also helped out around the house -- dishes, laundry, etc. -- anything to make my life easier. Taleah was sensitive to my needs as a newly single mother and often went out of her way to accommodate my constantly changing schedule. Taleah is trustworthy, dependable, sweet, and great with kids -- everything I needed in a nanny. We miss her already."
